Going to the 51st state initiative, counties in green voted to secede, counties in red voted to stay with Colorado.

Speaking of not getting the girl, where is Barfbag, did he just not show up for Prom tonight?

I think he's recovering from the losses.

[Flake]

Detroit has its first white mayor in forty years.

[Flake]

According to:

Dave Wasserman @Redistrict

Obenshain (R) lead now stands at 820, but ~600 of that lead appears to be from a reporting error in Sugarland South precinct, Loudoun County

?? What??? It's only a 200 vote race now??

[Flake]

Herring: 1,098,388
Obenshain: 1,097,772

Difference: 616

Still 4 precincts outstanding 

I did a little math and if those precincts get around a 40% turnout, it should get Obenshain between 100 to 700 votes.

[Flake]

The last precinct is in mecklenburg county and that precinct voted >60% Republican in 2012. Herring has to win the vote by mail / provisional vote. Either way there will still be a recount.

[Flake]

The Virginia board of elections has it at

1,099,302 Obenshain
1, 098,984 Herring

A margin of 314 votes

[Flake]

So with this current 32 vote lead:

Mark Herring (Democrat):         49.888%
Mark Obenshain (Republican): 49.887%
Write-in:                                   0.225%

[Flake]

Obenshain lead decreased from 726 to 679.

[Flake]

Obenshain leading by about 500 votes.

[Flake]

The latest numbers from the Virginia State Board of Elections, which includes the missing Fairfax absentees:

Obenshain   1,103,436   49.88%   
Herring   1,103,381   49.88%   
Write-in   5,145   0.23%   
Total Votes   2,211,962

Or Obenshain +55.

The results don't include the known provisional ballots from Richmond city, which should net Herring another 11 votes, leaving Obenshain with a 44-vote lead.

Provisionals are still out from 44 localities, including Fairfax County, which has up to 490 that might be counted.  And canvassing is still going on, so some other errors might be out there.

According to Wasserman, there was another error, this time in Richmond which when corrected will give Herring an 82 vote lead.

This entire race is so confusing.

[Flake]

Imagine how bad the Virginia Republican Party would had lost if Cuccinelli hadn't purged the voting rights of 40,000.

[Flake]

So, four precincts, according to Dave Wasserman, are incorrect, all of which are in Richmond city.  Precinct 603 is expected to give Herring one vote, Precinct 607 is expected to give Herring six votes, Precinct 802 is expected to give Herring nine votes, which if those go as planned, Obenshain wins by one vote vote.

However, Precinct 501 is expected to give Herring 116 votes, so Herring is expected to win the state by 115 votes overall.

This will probably go down in flames.

I hope so.

[Flake]

The initiative was defeated in a 55-44 margin.

[Flake]

So the abortion restrictions bill failed 55-45, and Mark Herring has been certified in the Virginia attorney general race by the state board of elections.
